from what I'm hearing on the street and other message boards. Rumor has it he met with Nash in NY yesterday and left before Kidd arrived???? Granted this is all rumor but that's messed up if true.

If you do leave Dirk....BE SMART and sign with Lebron or Wade. Don't waste your time going to a team that can't really win. STAY IN DALLAS OR DO THE RIGHT THING

tbh Dirk dicking around the Mavs like this is starting to piss me off.

he opts out, sends messages to the media about wanting to be "wined & dined" by the Mavs, has Donnie about to get on a plane to Germany only to call him at the last minute and say he's flying back to Dallas, decides he doesn't want to be "wine & dined" and get all that attention so he cancels the flight to Dallas and chills in NY for a day.

He can't be "wined & dined" and also keep things low-key. He can't talk about wanting to be appreciated more by the Mavs organization and the fans, and then back off and hide out in NY when the organization/fans do exactly what he asked for.

Dirk is mishandling this horribly imho.

Not sure why he's acting like that. NO REASON for the team you're already on wine and dine your ass. STOP BEING A BITCH.....just decide if you want to resign or not. Let the Mavs focus on making other moves. I'm going to pimp slap his ass when I go to a game this season

It means something when he was supposed to show up in Dallas but decided to stay in NY when he found out that he would arrive to a crowd of Mav fans.

It means something when he was supposed to meet up with Jason Kidd in NY, but instead hung out with Nash and left before Kidd even arrived in NY.

He's supposed to meet with the Mavs today. If they agree in principle on a deal before the day is out so Dirk can assist in recruiting other players, then no harm done. Anxiety and overreaction until it's official that he's coming back is understandable.

There's a better chance of him recruiting Nash to demand a trade back to Dallas. At this point it's pointless for Nash to waste away on the Suns trying to run pick and rolls with Hakeem Warrick.

I just don't get why he's dicking them around. Why did Donnie have to make plans to fly to Germany only to cancel them at the last minute? And i mean very last minute, he was right about to board the plane when Dirk finally told him that he was coming back to Dallas. Why did he say he was flying straight to Dallas but then cancel that to chill in NY? He says he wants more appreciation and love, Cuban accomodates him, then he suddenly shies away and wants things to be low key?

I don't think Dirk will go anywhere else, but it's bullshit that he's dilly-dallying around like this.

I don't see how he's dicking them around. If they don't reach an agreement in principle after meeting today*, then we can assume that it's not automatic he's coming back and that throws everything into chaos.

* Assuming he wants to be here, and they don't lowball him and offer him the max or close to the max, then he should accept and be on board. If he's serious about getting help in Dallas, then he has to agree quickly so the Mavs can make their pitches to other players with the knowledge that he will be here.

So this isn't dicking the Mavs around?

"Yeah come meet me in Germany"

"No, wait, I'm coming to Dallas, get off the plane and cancel your flight"

"I want you to show me how much you really appreciate me"

"Ummmmm I don't want to arrive in Dallas to fanfare so I'm gonna just stay in NYC for a night"

"Hey Jason, yeah get to NYC and we'll have dinner"

"Hey Jason, I know you're already headed here but we're leaving, I had lunch with Nash instead"

He could have coordinated things with Donnie so that he wasn't boarding a plane for Germany when he finally got a call from Dirk. He could have told Cuban that he wanted things low key instead of all the "wine me, dine me, appreciate me" talk and then get nervous when Cuban accommodates those wants, he could have had the decency to keep his word with Jason Kidd.

To be honest, Bron, Wade, Bosh and Amare aren't coming here, and with Joe Johnson off the market, there goes any chance Dallas had at acquiring one of the premier FAs. Job #1 is getting Dirk signed and then looking at guys like Al Jefferson or other players already under contract for a trade. Makes no difference if Dirk had agreed on 7/1 or today. Once Johnson went off the market, Dallas needed to shift its focus towards players already under contract.

Iggy/Brand for DUST/Jet works and I'd probably do that deal. Unfortunately Donnie Nelson is retarded cuz he thinks Iggy/Caron/Marion are all "basically the same player"

Dude these guys are looking to make the biggest professional move of their career. This free agency is such a big event for each of them, that something minor like Dirk taking an extra day or two to re-sign, isn't going to make a slight bit of difference, as there are other bigger concerns that they have to look into. If there is anything remote to take from this, its the fact that the Mavs organization are so patiently and willingly going about it, showing their dedication to their players. If you and other fans can see that it's not the organizations fault, that its simply due to Dirk dicking around (something that most all major free agents do), then I'm pretty sure that the players and their agents can see that too. Completely meaningless.

Agreed. Offer him the max and then let the chips fall where they may. You can't fault the Mavs unless they lowball him. If they're ironing out things like insurance protection if Dirk gets injured playing for the German national team, then that makes sense why this process might not be as zippy as we like. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I understand it might take some time for the lawyers to draw up a contract, but they should be able to quickly come to a handshake agreement in principle if he wants to stay here.

Where the fuck do the Mavs even start if Dirk leaves? Unload Caron for picks and cash? Unload Erica for picks and cash?Try to trade Terry and Shawn muthafuckin Marion?

Mavs offered Dirk the max, 4yrs/$96M.

Honestly Dirk should take less if he really wanted to win...give the Mavs the ability to make moves in the future and not tie them down.

Him getting 24 million a year takes up a good portion of the cap. If I were him I would take like 18mil a year for a 4-5 year deal....that's more than enough

Didn't Dirk, just not too long ago, work out his contract so the Mavs could get more free agents?

He said before that he would be willing to do that but it seems things have changed. I'm guessing Holger didn't like the thought of his meal ticket taking less money.

The Mavs are so far over the cap that Dirk giving them a hometown discount would do basically nothing unless he took scrub money. Just max him out already.

They're already way over the cap and Cuban will spend whatever it takes. Does it really matter?

Exactly. What are these mav "fans" talking about. Even if Dirk took a fraction of the money, nothing changes for the mavs with regards to their cap situation. All that does is help cubans bottom line.

From everything I've heard today, he'll remain with the Mavs. I'm not worried.

Same here. The more I'm thinking about it, why was neither Dirk nor Cuban there today? If Cuban had any doubts at all about being able to resign Dirk, I think he would've been there.

Dirk was around plenty of Mavs folk today. Just not at Donnie's place.

Dirk and Cubes were probably having drinks somewhere while donnie and Holger talked contract
